Ítem Anion-π and lone pair-π interactions with s-tetrazine-based ligands(Elsevier, 2019-07-05) Savastano, Matteo; García-Gallarín, Celeste; López-de-la-Torre, María Dolores; Bazzicalupi, Carla; Bianchi, Antonio; Melguizo, ManuelMost of traditional and contemporary interest in s-tetrazine derivatives focuses onto their redox properties, reactivity and energy density. In recent times, however, an increasing number of reports highlighted the possible usefulness of the s-tetrazine moiety as a binding site for anionic and electron rich species, according to the high and positive quadrupolar moment of this heterocycle and the consequent strength of anion-π and lone pair-π interactions. Herein, after giving a quick perspective on s-tetrazine properties and on how they foster these types of π interactions, we present statistical and critical examination of the available structural data, doing justice to the debated topic of the existence and directionality of anion- and lone pair-π interactions. Finally, available literature material concerning the usage of s-tetrazine as supramolecular binding site in solution, i.e. paving the way to applications such as molecular recognition and sensing, is presented and discussed.Ítem Halide and hydroxide anion binding in water(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-01-24) Savastano, Matteo; Bazzicalupi, Carla; García-Gallarín, Celeste; Giorgi, Claudia; López-de-la-Torre, María Dolores; Pichierri, Fabio; Bianchi, Antonio; Melguizo, ManuelThe formation of halide and hydroxide anion complexes with two ligands L1 (3,6 bis(morpholin-4-ylmethyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine) and L2 (3,6-bis(morpholin-4-ylethyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine) was studied in aqueous solution, by means of potentiometric and ITC procedures. In the solid state, HF2−, Cl− and Br− complexes of H2L22+ were analysed by single crystal XRD measurements. Further information on the latter was obtained with the use of density functional theory (DFT) calculations in combination with the polarizable continuum model (PCM). The presence of two halide or bifluoride HF2− (F–H–F−) anions forming anion–π interactions, respectively above and below the ligand tetrazine ring, is the leitmotiv of the [(H2L2)X2] (X = HF2, Cl, Br, I) complexes in the solid state, while hydrogen bonding between the anions and protonated morpholine ligand groups contributes to strengthen the anion–ligand interaction, in particular in the case of Cl− and Br−. In contrast to the solid state, only the anion : ligand complexes of 1 : 1 stoichiometry were found in solution. The stability of these complexes displays the peculiar trend I− > F− > Br− > Cl− which was rationalized in terms of electrostatic, hydrogen bond, anion–π interactions and solvent effects. DFT calculations performed on [(H2L2)X]+ (X = F, Cl, Br, I) in PCM water suggested that the ligand assumes a U-shaped conformation to form one anion–π and two salt bridge interactions with the included anions and furnished structural information to interpret the solvation effects affecting complex formation. The formation of hydroxide anion complexes with neutral (not protonated) L1 and L2 molecules represents an unprecedented case in water. The stability of the [L(OH)]− (L = L1, L2) complexes is comparable to or higher than the stability of halide complexes with protonated ligand molecules, their formation being promoted by largely favourable enthalpic contributions that prevail over unfavourable entropic changes.Ítem Supramolecular forces and their interplay in stabilizing complexes of organic anions: tuning binding selectivity in water(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-11-20) Savastano, Matteo; Bazzicalupi, Carla; García-Gallarín, Celeste; López-de-la-Torre, María Dolores; Bianchi, Antonio; Melguizo, ManuelHow do different supramolecular forces contribute to the stabilization of complexes of organic anions in water? Oftentimes, when debating such a theme, we refer to broad concepts like positive or negative cooperative effects; the focus of the present work is rather on their interplay, i.e. on the way different kinds of stabilizing interactions (salt bridges, H-bonds, anion–π interactions, π–π stacking, solvent effects, etc.) dialogue among themselves. What happens if we tune the strengths of salt bridges by altering the basicity of the anion? What if we change the geometry of the charged group? How does shifting towards more hydrophilic or hydrophobic anions impact the stability of complexes in water? What happens in the solid state? Will aromatic anions go for a π–π stacking or an anion–π interaction mode and do they all behave in the same manner? Does the host/guest size make any difference? What if we play with regiochemistry: will one of the isomers be selectively recognized? Here we present a case study featuring the tetrazine-based ligands L1 and L2 and a series of selected organic anions; potentiometric, NMR, and XRD data and in silico simulations are employed to render such a complex picture.
